Moin crossfellas!
Since the new University Semester is starting in a little more than a week and i m starting out with the Masterstudies i m currently seeking for a Laptop.
It`s just that I dont have the slightest clue about such products anymore. Basically i m searching for something which is really small, having a good Akku lifetime and which is able to handle easy Office crap like writing, going through pdfs and such. It should also be able to handle Wolfram Mathematica.
This actually sounds to me like easy enough for a Netbook but id like to ask you what you think. Is it true that Netbooks re really that poorly equipped?
If i had a big budget id prolly go for something like a Macbook Air but i d rather buy something worth around 300€.
Gimme some input please :)
Thanks, regards

do they have a proper amount of computers at school?
u need admin rights for your pc work? If so, does your school provide those?
and the most important question
can you work without a computer?
in my bachelor study a laptop was absolutly not necessary. i m studying physics and basically what you need to study is a pencil and paper.
not masterstudies are more theoretical and thats why it now makes sense to switch to a notebook.
i wouldnt mind one myself, would fit neatly next to everything else on mah table/desk while @ uni
I would go for 15,6" :S The Asus X52F-XQ2 costs 499$ = ~370€

But not sure if the battery will last long enough for you. And it probably is already too big for you..
well it appears smaller than i did expect it but well, i actually dont want to go for a 15 incher.
they re too big for my needs now. i even have a 17incher here still from my school times.
This guy is fucking huge and heavy as fuck. and the akku says byebye after half an hour :P
i guess the best size would be 13 inch but that might cost some akku life again...
the Eee of my friend says hes working for 8,5 hours straight which is pretty impressive :)
macbook (air?!) is awesome and doesn't make any problems for ages, unlike most other notebooks...
but the high costs are a main reason why i tend to some netbook too...
a friend of mine got a really small asus netbook aswell which seems to work really good and his battery lasts for ages aswell...
i m having one right here next to me, borrowed from a friend.
that 10inch screen is having brilliant quality (led) but its fucking tiny.
for the moment i could tell for both of us that 13 inch is prolly the best if you want "as small as possible but as big as necessary"
i m not that much of a powerfacebooker. but certainly you do have those situations where you simply cant stand the crap that the guy infront of the board is talking about but for your ego you stay in the lesson but do random shit on ur pc/smartphone :D
naja, mein 3.5kg 16", 12gb ram teil ftw.
